Seashells by the Seashore!

 Welcome to today's post for Just Us Girls

Nancy is Hosting and I am sure she is thinking of the seaside

with the WORD -Seashells for this weeks Word Challenge.

I wanted to do something a little different for this one

and really did go way outside the box starting with

a seaside paper napkin attached to card base.

Then it all went from there.

The seaside has fish nets and shells abounding right!

so up to the shed I went and raided the

shell grit we give to our chickens.

There are two types there - some very tiny

and others more realistic.

The fish net is of course cheesecloth

for the shells to lay on. The hardest part was

waiting for the gel medium to dry

setting the shells in place. I did add some

clear crackle on a few items but hard to see.

Glossy accents on the bird and some shimmer

here and there.

Computer generated text to finish.

I took a couple of close ups to show you better detail

of all the different shells - 

I had so much fun creating this Mixed Media project - 

now head over and see what our Guest Kristen and

my Talented Team Mates created.

Love to see you get out those seashell supplies

and add yours to our Gallery. 

Thanks for visitng.

Love to read your thoughts on my seashell piece.
